1994 Bush Fires - Royal National Park - Sydney Australia

Fires started in the Royal National Park, to the south of Sydney, on the 3rd January 1994. It travelled from east of Heathcote on the 5th January to the sea 6th January resulting in evacuations from Bundeena and Maianbar.

The photos below provided by Phillip Park show the 1994 bush fires looking towards Maianbar to Bundeena from the Cecil Apartments, Cronulla.

If you have photos of the 1994 Bush Fires you would like to submit from the Cronulla area looking towards the Royal National Park please contact me and I would be happy to place on the website and credit to you.

Many fires were burning in the Sutherland Shire during this period. Woronora River, Menai/Bangor and Como Jannali were also affected on Friday 7th January 1994. Below is a report from the N.S.W. Rural Fire Service titled "A State Ablaze" which gives an account of events that happened.

This publication below is dedicated to the men and women who fought the fires of December 1993 and January 1994, and to the thousands of other volunteers who stand ready to assit their communities and the people of NSW through their dedication and commitment to the NSW Rural Fire Service.Copyright: NSW Rural Fire Service.
